    Ok, I will admit it.

    I run a Sony TA-N9000ES 5 channel amp, rated at 5 x 115 watts @ 8 Ohms.
    It also weighs just under 25 kg.

    This amps retail price was about $2150 Australian dollars, when new and I have found it to be a more versatile amp than any other amp I have seen.

    The Sony can also be run in 2 channel mode, 3 channel mode or 4 channel mode. It can also be bridged to put out 2 x 210 watts per channel and also has an additional set of stereo inputs to run a seperate 2 channel preamp.

    I have compared the sound of it in 2 channel mode to a Rotel Rb990bx amp
    which is 2 x 200 @ 8 Ohms and did not hear much difference.

    Perhaps a little more control in the bass area with the Rotel but that was about it.

    I do not know much about other Sony equipment but this one seems to be a very clever amp which does a pretty good job.

    Perhaps its not up there with the best, but it has done a good job for me so far and doesnt seem far off the pace soundwise.

    If Sony gear can compete with the others soundwise and cost wise, I am interested.

    Anyone else game to admit they own Sony gear ? LOL

            Hello you all!

            Finally there's some respect for the great Sony QS range.
            I'm fully into this gear.

            My collection:
            SONY:
            STR-DB795 7.1 Receiver
            DVP-NS955V DVD/SACD Player
            NAC-HD1E Gigajuke Audio Deck
            MDS-JB980 Minidisc Deck
            SLV-X9 VHS Video Recorder
            TC-KB920S Cassette Deck
            RDR-HX900 Hard Disc DVD Recorder
            DVP-CX777ES DVD/SACD Changer 400 discs
            KLV-32MR1 LCD TV
            RM-AX4000 Remote

            Speakersystem is a full 7.1 cinema system from JBL.

            I'm VERY satisfied with this stuff!
            I hope we can exchange our experiences with each other.

            Greetings from Holland.

                  Center Channel Design?
                  by Not2Evil
                  I hope I picked an appropriate forum to post this.

                  I need some advice with center channel speakers. What I’m looking for doesn’t seem to be available for any price. commercially or DIY.

                  First a little background. I have no experience designing or building speakers. I am...

                  RSX 1056: what exactly is LFE and what is the function in 2 channel mode?
                  by DUCKY
                  Sorry for no doubt a stupid question, but this is my first multi channel equiptment :roll:

                  On my RSX 1056 I can select 2-channel mode to get (I think) stereo sound, blocking all channels but the fronts. The first time I press the '2 ch' button I go into 2 channel + LFE mode. Push it...

                  RSX 1056 Stereo Mode
                  by Fred7
                  I just upgraded from a RSP-1066 and a RSX-1055 to a pair of brand new RSX-1056 receivers, one for my living room and one for my bedroom. One of the main reasons that I upgraded was to get true analog bypass for two channel and multi channel inputs. I was also looking forward to using the two channel...

                  RSP-1068 as two-channel processor?
                  by Blindamood
                  Although this concept is probably nothing new, I'm wondering if anyone can comment on this scenario for me. I currently employ an RSP-1068 for my 5.1 setup, and am very happy with it. Lately, I'm wondering if it wouldn't also be an excellent solution for my two-channel setup in another room.

                  Pro Logic II vs. 5 channel music
                  by spiffnme
                  When I first got my RSP-1066 I was excited to try out the new Pro Logic II, as I had heard it was quite an impressive improvement over the old Pro Logic.

                  I was not that impressed. Likewise, I've never been impressed by any DSP sound effects in the past.

                  Well, tonight...
